Condition

Both drawings are totally free and not hinged to any backing or mount. There are some small nicks and losses of gouache to the extremities and some rubbing to the edges, most probably as a result of an old mount. There is some very minor mottling to the black background, however the medium remains in predominantly good condition throughout both sheets. Both sold in giltwood frames.
